Now it is the season of winter, it is already very cold outside Nanjing, the air that was burned by the fire half an hour ago has cooled down, in the increasingly fierce north wind, Tangcheng they can only hide in the anti-artillery fortifications to rest, the nine catties in their sleep have unconsciously shrunk into a ball. There were less than 30 survivors who were dug out of the soil with steel helmets, only 5 belonged to the second company, Liu Goat was unconscious, Zhou Fu broke his arm, Biao Zi and several other second companies died in the Japanese artillery fire, and the only one who could fight the war was the mill.

The Japanese did not attack immediately after the shelling, at least Tang Cheng peeked out of the trenches several times, and found no signs of Japanese attack. The Japanese artillery bombardment half an hour ago was not only aimed at the second company, but the left flank position where Xie Chengrui was also subjected to retaliatory artillery fire from the Japanese army, and the intensity was not much worse than this side. The position had been completely destroyed by Japanese artillery fire, and most of the surviving soldiers were concentrated in two sections of trenches that were still intact, and these steel helmets did not dare to retreat without receiving orders.

Tang Cheng thought about retreating to the city with the rest of the second company first, but Nianzi stopped him, and it was Xie Chengrui's troops who guarded the city gate. After listening to the explanation, Tang Cheng dispelled this idea, but looking at the unconscious Liu Goat and Zhou Fu who was trying his best to endure the pain, Tang Cheng's heart was as uncomfortable as a cat's claw scratching, Liu Goat didn't know what the reason was that he didn't wake up, but if Zhou Diao's injury could not be treated, just bleeding would kill Zhou Fu.

Weapons are a soldier's second life, as both Robert and Sheppo have told many times, so Tang Cheng is full of trenches looking for weapons and ammunition when he is free. Since you can't retreat without an order, you still have to fight the Japanese army, and you can't fight the Japanese army without weapons. The two of them walked around the trenches, each carrying several intact Mauser rifles, and Tang Cheng still had no less than 300 rifle rounds in his satchel.

"People who don't have weapons come and get a rifle and 30 rounds of ammunition, and then everyone goes to find the ammunition themselves, and the more weapons and ammunition you find before the Japanese attack us, the better." The mill is not a talker, Jiujin was sent by Tang Cheng to the left flank position to continue to ask for help, and now Tang Cheng is the only one who can represent the second company, if it weren't for Zhou Fu who also fainted, there was no need for Tang Cheng to pick this head. Most of the steel helmets in the trenches ignored Tang Cheng's words, only a few guys from the 51st Division came over to receive rifles and bullets, and the people in the teaching team still huddled together and didn't know what they were thinking.

Tang Cheng rolled his eyes helplessly in his heart, checked the bodies of Liu Goat and Zhou Fu, and explained that the mill who fiddled with the light machine gun was optimistic about the two, and Tang Cheng himself carried two short guns to other places in the position. There are less than 30 people left in the position, there is no shortage of weapons, the position is full of Mauser rifles and Japanese-style 38 rifles, Tang Cheng is looking for the Japanese army's grenadiers and grenades, Mazi used the Japanese-style grenadier to bombard the Japanese army, Tang Cheng still remembers, and the position needs a strong firepower weapon.

Tang Cheng's search was not untargeted, Xie Bo's notes recorded that the Japanese army's grenadiers had been equipped to the class units, and according to Professor Liu Goat's Japanese army number, Tang Cheng judged that the Japanese army that had just attacked the position of the second company should be a small team. A squad of the Japanese army is the same as a platoon of the national army, and it has three squads, so Tang Cheng will definitely be killed by the Japanese army's own cannon fodder, and those Japanese soldiers have grenadiers on them, even if Tang Cheng can't find the grenadiers carried by the Japanese army, it is good to get a few Japanese-style oval grenades.

Most of the dead in the artillery fire left behind mutilated corpses, the ninja was disgusting, and Tang Cheng alone rummaged through the corpses of those Japanese soldiers, looking for bullets from their magazines, grenades from their waists, and grenadiers in the pile of Japanese corpses. Liu Goat is now unconscious, and his telescope has temporarily returned to Tang Cheng, although one of the lenses of the telescope has been completely rotten, but this does not affect Tang Cheng to observe the enemy situation through the lens on the other side.

Putting down the telescope in his hand again, Tang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, there was no trace of the Japanese army within a mile in front of the position, which made Tang Cheng's heart that had been hanging a little more steady, at least before Liu Goat woke up completely, there was no fault in the position. The light machine gun found by the mill is Japanese-style, and the light machine gun fed by this magazine can use the Japanese army's 38 rifle bullets, so the rifle cartridges in the cartridge box on the waist of the Japanese corpse have also become the main object of Tangcheng's looting, and the small leather satchel is full of Arisaka rifle bullets he found, and it looks like it can have four or five hundred rounds.

Carrying a slow leather satchel, Tang Cheng walked back with a telescope, and the hard object that the military shoes inadvertently kicked out of the floating soil made Tang Cheng forget the pain in his toes, which was the Japanese grenadier he had been looking for. A Japanese light machine gun, 500 rounds of rifle ammunition, a Japanese grenadier, and 5 Japanese oval grenades, this is the sharpest weapon that Tang Cheng can find, in addition, the more than 20 people on the position only have rifles, bayonets and one of their lives.

When Tang Cheng returned to the trench where everyone was resting, the guys from the teaching team still gathered together and whispered something, the remaining 6 people of the 51st Division sat with the mill, and only 6 people were left in a platoon of Haolu who was beaten, and these guys from the 51st Division were really enough. Every soldier who survived understood that this time the devil retreated, and the next attack they had to face would be doubly crazy, in the smelting of war, the recruits grew very fast, and now they looked a lot like veterans, especially Tang Cheng himself.

Seeing that Tang Cheng came back with grenadiers and bullet bags, the soldiers of the training team began to move, they began to clean up the corpses in the trenches, and their own people were left in a neat arrangement, and the Japanese threw them directly out of the trenches. They will silently close their eyes for two or three seconds of silence for the dead brothers who passed by, and they will salute those brothers who died in battle, Tang Cheng sat beside the mill and silently looked at the soldiers of these teaching teams, he and the mill did not have much physical strength to dig up the bodies of those brothers who died in the second company, so they could only rest in peace on this ruined battlefield.

Twenty minutes later, the first soldier of the training team to return, carrying five rifles on his back and covering his body with leather ammunition bags of Japanese soldiers, crashed headlong into the trench, and the soldier of the training team collapsed and could barely stand up. One, two, one group, two groups, the members of the teaching team came back one after another, and after half an hour they were all back in the trenches; Each of them carried rifles and ammunition with them, including the Mauser rifles of the national army and the 38 rifles of the Japanese army.

The more than 20 soldiers who survived had more than 100 rifles and a large amount of ammunition, and of course they also had a Japanese light machine gun and grenadiers. I don't know when the Japanese army will come again, the soldiers in the trenches are silently filling the chamber with bullets, whether it is a Mauser rifle or a Japanese 38 rifle, as long as it can hit the dead, it is a weapon.

"What are you talking about the devil's plane? Walking around the sky all day long to scare people, but not rushing down. At the corner of the trench, the sound of the conversation of the soldiers of the two teaching teams reached Tang Cheng's ears. About ten minutes earlier, the Japanese reconnaissance planes had arrived, always hovering over the position but not coming down, and only the veterans understood that the next Japanese attack would be a terrifying existence, and no one would think that they would be able to hold it.

"What else can you do on a dog day, is to stare at us and tell us not to slip away. You remember, when the devil's plane rushes down, you stick to the dirt wall on which side he comes from, so that the machine gun on the plane can't hit you, and if the devil throws a bomb, don't panic, the bomb will only blow up those guys who don't have long eyes and run around. The soldiers' conversation vaguely reached Tang Cheng's ears. Everyone in the trenches is ready to sacrifice, what else does he have to worry about for this nation and country? Tang Cheng's heart and eyes continued to surge, and he was afraid that he would shed tears again, so he chose to leave, pretending to look for a grenade for a grenadier.

Looking at the soldiers gathered in the trenches from a distance, Tang Cheng thought of the veterans of the miscellaneous company, how the veterans of those miscellaneous companies risked their lives to blow up the Japanese tanks with grenades, and how the last few veterans held grenades and died with the Japanese army. All of this seemed to be like what happened yesterday, one by one appeared in Tang Cheng's mind, he didn't know if he had that kind of courage, but Tang Cheng knew that he was not a coward, maybe he didn't have the courage to carry a grenade to the Japanese army, but he would never hide in the rear alone and survive.

"The head of the regiment is here, the head of the regiment is here." The shouts of the soldiers of the teaching team interrupted Tang Cheng's reverie, and he raised his binoculars to look from afar, Xie Chengrui, who was also gray-faced, was leading a group of people into the right flank position, and Jiujin, who was sent by Tang Cheng to the left flank to move the rescue soldiers, followed Xie Chengrui, as well as Guo Tianbao, who was originally subordinate to the 51st Division.

Xie Chengrui came, and there was finally someone on the position who could make up his mind, Tang Cheng, who was standing in the distance, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a satchel with half a bag of bullets and walked towards them. Maybe Xie Chengrui will increase troops to the right flank position again, maybe Xie Chengrui will reorganize these people on the right flank position into his second regiment, but Tang Cheng doesn't care anymore, there are only 5 people left in the second company, and two of them are still wounded, so Tang Cheng doesn't care.
